BY A STAFF REPORTER: The new chief minister Eknath Shinde once again vented his ire against former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray. Shinde said, "We have discussed several times with Uddhav Thackeray that we are not getting any benefit from Maha Vikas Aghadi.
Despite our party being chief minister, we came in at number 4 in nagar panchayat (election). We tried to convince him a lot, but we didn't succeed.' Shinde added, "We are not doing any illegal work. There are rules, laws and constitutions and we have to act according to them. Today, we are more than 2/3 majority, so our decision is legal. The speaker also recognised us. '
